That means more people are looking for inexpensive, original ways to travel and live. These 7 bus conversions we found online prove just how easy that can be.

7 Bus Conversions that will Make You Swoon

A Family of 5 Calls “Big Bertha” Home

This bus conversion is an interesting story that was featured on Treehugger last year. The couple, along with their three children, converted the bus into their full-time home after a new job presented itself. Rather than spend hours away from each other because of the long commute, they decided to transform the bus so they could be together and save money. They turned the bus into a solar power home big enough for now and later as the kids get older.

A Family of 6 Enjoys the Freedom of Living in a Converted Bus

Smaller Living featured this cool take on a bus conversion that is home to a family with 4 small children who are all homeschooled. We love how creative they were, the master bedroom is on one end, the kid’s bunk beds on the other end, with plenty of space to move around in between. They also got creative and utilized every inch of available space for living or storage space.
